[SEL] Cockatoo Island photo essay

[peter ogborne]

Quite right Kerry ...Sydney has it all! In West Australia we had the Midland 
Railway Workshops ,a large complex where they made locos etc and many other 
things .The workshops built in the early 1900 .Talk that it would be 
preserved but it has been whittled away and now just about all of it 
consists of apartments and residences .
